Sen. Bill Cassidy: “Stephen Street’s a good guy,” — flatly denies any lobbying for President Trump to appoint him as U. S. Attorney for the Middle District of Louisiana.

U. S. Sen. Bill Cassidy

In today’s Sound Off Louisiana feature, founder Robert Burns asks U. S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-LA, if he is lobbying President Trump to appoint Louisiana Inspector General Stephen Street as the next U. S. Attorney from the Middle District of Louisiana.  His response follows:      

U. S. Sen. Bill Cassidy responds to an inquiry from Sound Off Louisiana’s Robert Burns entailing whether he is actively lobbying for Louisiana Inspector General Stephen Street to be appointed as the next U. S. Attorney from the Middle District of Louisiana.  Burns has openly questioned Street’s handling of the cases of U. S. v. Murphy Painter (during which, on the witness stand, Street said he had “no knowledge of the case”) and State of Louisiana v. Corey delaHoussaye (both were dismal failures and unmitigated disasters for Street which have cost — and CONTINUE to cost —  Louisiana taxpayers an absolute fortune in legal defense fees entailing both gentlemen’s civil litigation against Street and his officers, past and present).  Burns also openly questioned Street’s independence from the Governor of Louisiana.  Rather than respond to the question, Street flippantly avoided the question and attempted to belittle Burns, who spent six years as a Federal Government fraud investigator, by referencing him as “Exhibit A.”  The videos on the preceding link SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES entailing Street’s total lack of professionalism and his insecurities; nevertheless, he continued his unprofessional conduct by mistakenly believing Burns sought for a Sound Off Louisiana interviewee, Billy Broussard, to ask a question of Street and placed his face directly within an inch of Burns’ camera and stated:  “That’s my answer for today, Mr. Burns.”

Cassidy, we at Sound Off Louisiana, in light of the material presented on this page, respectfully emphatically disagree with your characterization of Stephen Street as a “good guy.”
